Mucosal Melanoma: Epidemiology, Biology and Treatment.

Cancer treatment and research - 1 Jan 2016

Spencer Kristen R, Mehnert Janice M

Abstract excerpt

Mucosal melanoma is an exceedingly rare variant of cutaneous melanoma that, due to its rarity, is poorly described and infrequently studied. Primary sites of origin include the head and neck, anorectum and vulvovaginal regions. It is uniquely different from cutaneous melanoma with respect to epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis and prognosis. The etiology and pathogenesis remain unclear. Unlike cutaneous...
